WORKMEN OF THE MOTOR INDUSTRIES CO. LTD. vs MANAGEMENT OF MOTOR INDUSTRIES CO. LTD.,BANGALORE

The Supreme Court held that the strike by workmen on May 11, 1966, was illegal under Section 29 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as it breached the terms of the settlement requiring four days' notice. The Court clarified that the association's failure to call for the strike did not absolve the workmen from liability, as the settlement was binding on them. The dismissal of three workmen for misconduct was upheld, affirming the Labour Court's findings on the validity of the disciplinary proceedings.
